Re: [BTSS] Re: Summer of Flyers???

Bikes are faster than walking. I've heard ideas over the years of Frateris Militia on horses, and other such, but I'm not sure that should be a part of the army. The IG have Rough Riders, I'm not sure we should have them as well. I guess it would depend on the sort of force you wish to field. A Feral World army could have them. During the old Rogue Trader days, the SM had jetbikes, but that was before 2nd Ed. came out and jetbikes became the property of the Eldar. Nuns on motorcycles would be cool, though.

Bikes are not Cavalry. Bikes are bikes. I'm not necessarily against bikes, or even jet bikes, but I have cavalry in mind.
